Silly Sand Question

[debdellac]

Hi all
I have a bunch of new sand coming...im dreading it so much! I always kill myself trying to rinse it well. Does anyone have any little tips/tricks that help with the rinsing process? In the past i have tried several different methods including dumped the sand in a bucket and just let the garden hose run into it for about 20 minutes.

any tips will be appreciated!

Thanks
Debby

if its carb aragonite you dont have to rinse

are you adding to a tank or starting a new one...
if adding do small amounts at a time.. the sand storm won't be too bad..
if a new tank... just add it... get the water ready...add some water from a existing tank and some sand or rock froma exixting tank and it will clear up very quickly...

I add it already wet to the tank, and try to do a cupful at a time if there are reef critters inthe tank already... Doing it at night I have heard is also helpful so that the cloud blocks light for as little time as possible...
